A variant of the coronavirus, called the "Delta variant", has surfaced in the northern area of the Navajo Nation.
According to KOB Channel 4:
WINDOW ROCK, A.Z.- Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said the first case of the Delta variant was identified in the northern part of the Nation.
"It is a concern right now, we're monitoring the individual who did get the virus. To my understanding, was vaccinated and not that much sickness, and we will see that in the next couple of days how that individual is doing," said Nez.
President Nez said the symptoms and sickness could have been worse without the vaccine. He encouraged the Navajo people to get the vaccine.
Besides that, KOB reported that a resolution passed calling for the 50% reopening of Navajo Nation parks and recreational areas. It has yet to reach Nez's desk.
